best way to avoid masturbating

having inbalanced hormones really suck, everytime you get turned on, or even masturbate, acne starts to grow. i've been trying to cure it for years but nothing works, i dont have a serious problem, but its been getting on my nerves alot, it really sucks, im 18 now and still have this problem, i try avoiding masturbating or watching porn, but its HARDDD, i end up masturbating atleast twice a week, any suggestions?

yes there is a relationship between masturbating and acne. every time I masturbate the next day more acne shows up, if I stop it, it just makes my face ALOT cleaner, but its just so hard to stop! the longest ive been without masturbating would be 3 weeks or so. any suggestions? you think its because of sweat? well I usually sweat alot and that doesnt affect my face, unless i masturbate

Honestly, there isn't. It might just be pure coincidence. I recently went to a dermatologists office and he said that eating greasy food doesn't cause more pimples, although it does clog your arteries and that crap.

Acne is caused by bacteria, and hormones. Masturbation only temporarily elevates your testosterone level. However, acne is also caused by stress--so stressing over masturbating is likely causing more of your acne problem than the actual masturbation. Keep your face as clean and dry as possible, use something with benzoyl peroxide in it, and be religious about doing it. Your acne will eventually mostly clear up, you are at about the age. Don't worry about it so much, and it will clear up faster. Hang in there!

The imbalanced hormones themselves can make you more prone to acne, not the masturbation. Whatever your endocrinologist wants to do to correct your imbalance, should cause a decrease (or an increase, sorry) in your acne. I know my treatment, which usually is good for acne had the exact opposite effect on my once completely blemish-free face. In fact, my acne leaves scars which aren't too bad, but a vain person like I am goes nuts over these scars. (Thank the heavens for Mederma.) Anyway, talk to your endocrinologist.

this might sound crazy, but my acne appears on my face everytime I masturbate, Im 18 and have had this problem for a while. Im trying to get this over with but acne keeps on showing up after I masturbate. The time I didnt masturbate for 2 weeks, my face was almost totally clear! but then, I couldnt stop myself, I tried my best to stop myself but I couldnt, and had to masturbate. Not only that, whenever I get turned on for a while, and once its back down to its position, this clear sticky liquid appears on top, I know its not sperm but I was just curious, and yes that also takes part in developing my acne. Ok so my question to you guys is, whats
the BEST way to stop yourself from masturbating, stop yourself from getting turned on so easily and most of all CONTROL yourself!!

do you hit your face with jizz?
mate, i'm not saying you're not hygienic - before and after doing it, wash your hands and your best friend, and dont go around your face with your fingers if they are full of sperm. hope this helps you! cheers!

You are certainly mixing up reason and effect.
I think stopping to masturbate is not really a thing to do. Its too natural to suppress it. The solution is not in your cock, but in your face. It seems your skin shows an allergic reaction to something (sperm, sweat).
You got to find out what it is! Please see a specialist, though it may be somewhat embarassing - you can choose one, that does not know you.

But this reaction of your body is not normal and it is definitely not solved by stopping to masturbate!

First of all, did you have any sex education in school? You were cheated by your education system if it was not offered. Please pursue it.

You apparently don't know what precum is, where it comes from or what it is for, let alone that it has a name. That clear sticky liquid coming from your urethra is called precum or precome. You are correct, it is not sperm. It appears usually while you have or have had a hard on. It is perfectly natural and beneficial. Please search the LPSG forums for the word "precum", and you will learn all about it. It has absolutely nothing to do with your acne problem unless you are rubbing it into your face.

Having worked with young people most of my life. I know several doctors that specialize in skin problems and many people who suffered through adolescent acne. Here's some advice, but I'm not a doctor. Find a good one. A dermatologist.

The first question you will probably be asked by a skin specialist is if you are touching your face a lot with dirty hands. Whether you've been masturbating or digging in the garden, this is the last thing you want to be doing to your facial skin. You should become aware of it and force yourself to stop touching your face without washing your hands first. Use a cloth or cotton swabs to clean your face. Anything but grubby fingers.

The doctors I've talked to about this have all told me that the majority of their patients do not have a chronic acne problem so much as they are constantly and unconsciously touching and picking at their faces. Think about it. Are you? It has nothing to do with masturbation unless you are picking at yourself as well. Any doctor that tells you otherwise is a quack and probably some kind of religious nut-case. Get another opinion, pronto.

Sweating is one of the most healthful things possible for your skin. It is structured to do so for your body's own good. A great reason to work out. Jack off with all your might! Sweat! Just wash your cock, balls and hands afterwards. Quit picking at yourself! If that doesn't change things ask your doctor to recommend a specialist to see if there is a deeper problem.

There is no reason to talk about masturbation with your doctors unless you really feel like it's an out of control problem. It's no ones business but your own. You can enjoy it, guilt free, rather than think it is causing you problems. Use your precum to lube up. At your age you will go crazy trying to pretend you aren't horny.
